问题     More than 6000 children were expelled from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
   The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996～1997,against 7 percent for rifles or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.   “The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Rile said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe. "
   In March 1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.
   Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said. [br] From this passage we know that ______.
选项 A、every American cannot have guns
B、only soldiers and police can have guns
C、every American citizen can own guns
D、teachers have no money to buy guns
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。文章主要讨论的是美国校园里学生携带枪支武器上学这一问题。之所以形成问题，主要是因为学生有枪、可以携带枪；因此文章第三段最后一句才指出必须下定决心将枪支拒于校园之外(We need to be tough-minded...out of our school)。既然学生都可以拥有枪支，说明在美国人们是可以拥有枪支的，选[C]。
